It's great that members of Congress have located specific legislative language permitting the president to build a border wall, but I'm wondering: Has anybody read the Constitution?
It says:
"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States."
"(The president) shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."
With millions of foreigners illegally pouring across our border, it sure looks like the laws are not being "faithfully executed." I wonder if the COMMANDER IN CHIEF has any authority to stop it.
The Constitution was expressly designed to make it difficult to do what our military does all the time -- fight wars around the globe -- and easy to do what our military never does -- defend our own country.
Congress was given power to "declare war," but not to "make war," for the precise purpose of stalling the march to war. It was a selling point that the legislative branch takes forever to do anything.
But we had a country to protect, so the Constitution gave the energetic, fast-moving president the authority to deploy the military defensively.

Hello
Ann Coulter reminds me of a chihuahua on meth.
Hi....this is a GREAT place.....make sure you mind your manners for the first 5 years!!
Thanks kindly for the tip.
You are most welcome.
Her poor cat! lol
Stupid Ann. You think POTUS doesn’t want the same as you? It’s a miracle that he accomplishes anything at all, given what he’s got to work with. You think you could do better than him? How about your loves, Mitt and Christie? Would they be doing better than POTUS? Fool.
He’s in there fighting. You’re just running your mouth, looking for attention.
And so what if what you’re right....POTUS gets enough attacks from the global lackeys and their donor-owners. He doesn’t need you to pile on.
NO ONE could be fighting harder than POTUS. So I say to Ann, Shut up. Just shut up.
I don’t think they read it either.
Just reacting to her name.
Yeah! Anybody that doesn’t pimp the party line should be banned. Or better yet burned at a stake.
Tell Ann not to pour absinthe on her cornflakes in the morning. It’s making her crazy.
LOL...many thanks for, yet once again, providing definitive proof positive that you are just a stupid troll, who is also a masochist who enjoys being abused in public; you poor thing.
“It doesn’t matter at all what she does, any thread that bears her name...? A yuge sucking sound begins and phalanxes of glossy-eyed, slobbering haters pour forth, like that show Walking Dead.”
What are you talking about?
Well I, for one, read and unlike most here, especially the n00bs, I read EVERY article that the thread is linked to!
I implied none of that, stupid troll.
“As I posted on FR, Trump can avoid all the hoopla if he declares an emergency.”
And conservatives can take back public schools from leftists if they get off their fat, useless Mammon-worshipping asses and attend schoolboard meetings.
Which do you think is more possible?
Pssssssssssssssssssssssssst...this site actually has rules, which I suggest you look for, read, and take to heart. Thus far, you are achingly in line to RIDE THE LIGHTNING and having the VIKING KITTIES gnaw at your smoldering bones.
Though you don't know what that means, keep it up and you shall; quite quickly, I might add.
My posts are not as you describe.
Ann is right on immigration. Simple.
Hah. . .going out on a limb here. . .neither?
You just got here, are acting childish, have only stated your uneducated opinion, and refuse to see that others don't share your view. GROW UP, LEARN THE ROPES, and STOP THROWING A TANTRUM; snowflake.
You're now dismissed; go back to your "safe space" and hug your blanky.
What happened she missed “last call for alcohol”
